New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul makes a living chasing quarterbacks. So Pierre-Paul had a suggestion for Robert Griffin III, the fleet-footed Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Pierre-Paul will be chasing Sunday.

“Don’t bring it to my side,’’ Pierre-Paul said via the New York Daily News. “Go the other way.”

Pierre-Paul’s trash talking is unlikely to deter Griffin, who rushed for 138 yards in last Sunday’s victory over the Vikings. The Giants-Redskins game will feature an interesting matchup—the speed and elusiveness of Griffin versus the Giants’ elite pass rushing trio of Pierre-Paul, Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck.

Facing Griffin for the first time is a challenge the Giants are clearly gearing up for. When asked about Griffin in July, Umenyiora referred to Griffin as “Bob,” saying that Griffin had not earned the right as a rookie to enter the NFL with a signature nickname like RG3. Now, Umenyiora has changed his tune.

“His name is Sir Robert Griffin,’’ Umenyiora told reporters Thursday. “Look at the way he’s performed as a rookie. You don’t see players come into the league performing like that at that stage of their career, so all the respect in the world goes to him and he’s a phenomenal football player.’’

Neither Umenyiora nor Pierre-Paul wants to see Griffin explode for a long touchdown run like the 76-yarder he had against the Vikings.

“Ridiculous,” Umenyiora said. “You saw guys who are known as fast guys just trailing behind him. So we know what type of speed he has, but more importantly, he has an arm. They’ve got a really good player on their hands and we’ve got a problem on ours.”
